Choose a wrap explicitly labelled gluten-free, then compare the pack count with the small rolls or pieces you plan to serve. Old El Paso offers six regular tortillas, Tesco Free From offers four white wraps, and BFree offers six multigrain wraps; the right pack also depends on guests’ other allergies and your fillings. A gluten-free wrap still needs to be prepared with clean utensils and away from gluten-containing food.
Choose an explicitly labelled gluten-free wrap and plan how to keep it away from breadcrumbs, shared spreads and utensils during preparation. Coeliac UK advises cleaning surfaces and using clean cutlery for shared spreads.
Compare the number of whole wraps in a pack with the rolls or cut pieces you plan to make. Choose and check the fillings separately.
A gluten-free claim does not answer every allergy question. Check the exact pack for ingredients and warnings relevant to each guest, including wheat, milk, egg, mustard or sesame where needed.
Start with the exact pack’s gluten-free label, then work out portions and check how you will prepare and store the filled wraps.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free label | Look for an explicit gluten-free claim on the wrap being bought. The Food Standards Agency defines that claim as no more than 20 mg/kg of gluten in the food as sold; check the delivered pack’s current label. | I need a wrap labelled gluten-free for a guest who must avoid gluten, rather than relying on its brand name or appearance. |
| Preparation | Clean work surfaces and utensils before assembly. Coeliac UK advises clean cutlery for shared spreads so breadcrumbs are not transferred. | Ordinary sandwiches will be made too, so I need a separate, clean space and utensils for the gluten-free portions. |
| Portions and handling | Compare Old El Paso’s six 36 g tortillas with Tesco Free From’s four-wrap 160 g pack and BFree’s six-wrap pack. Plan how many pieces to cut from each filled wrap; a maker’s softness or folding description does not establish how assembled pieces will hold. | I want enough whole wraps for the pieces on my platter without assuming different pack formats yield the same number of portions. |
| Other allergens and storage | Read the exact pack’s ingredient and precautionary information: ASDA lists mustard and sesame warnings for BFree’s multigrain wraps, while Warburtons says its white wraps are produced in a bakery that uses egg. Follow the filling’s storage requirements. | Guests may have requirements beyond avoiding gluten, and chilled fillings need to stay chilled until assembly and serving. |

No. Check for an explicit gluten-free claim on the current product. The Food Standards Agency defines that UK label as meaning no more than 20 mg/kg of gluten in the food as sold.
Clean the work surface and utensils before making the gluten-free wraps, and keep them away from breadcrumbs. Coeliac UK advises washing utensils with hot soapy water and using clean cutlery for shared spreads; check the fillings too.
